Sharks trade for forward Tye McGinn

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks acquired forward Tye McGinn from the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday for a third-round selection in the 2015 NHL Draft.

"Tye is a hard working player who plays an honest game," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. "We're excited to add him to our group of young forwards."

The 23-year-old McGinn had 35 points, including 20 goals, and 62 penalty minutes in 54 games with Adirondack of the AHL last season. McGinn, the brother for former Sharks forward Jamie McGinn, also had four goals and one assist in 18 games with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2013-14.

McGinn, who is 6-foot-2 and 210-pounds, is a restricted free agent and was given a qualifying offer by the Flyers earlier this week. He has seven goals and three assists in 36 career NHL games, all with the Flyers.
